A variety of glass doors for the interior of the room
More and more advanced methods are used to process glass in modern industry. They allow you to achieve amazing strength and unusual beauty of glass surfaces.
The use of glass as a material for the manufacture of doors and interior partitions is justified by its high decorative and operational qualities. A wide range of options will create the illusion of an ice kingdom or a water world in a room. You just need to let go of your imagination and spend a little time on choosing the right door.
Classification of glass door designs
Basically, the doors are divided according to the principle of opening into swing and sliding. Sliding varieties are divided into subspecies:
- cassette
- retractable;
- coupe.
Sliding doors look like glass sheets simply laid on a wall. If necessary, they simply shift to the side. Typically, such mechanisms work in both directions. Use this variety in any room. It is only necessary that the wall to the right or left of the doorway has a suitable length to accommodate the door leaf.
Cassette doors are distinguished by the presence of the so-called cassette, thanks to which the canvas can be rolled directly into the wall. This method also assumes that there is enough space on the wall, but it looks more impressive. The advantages of this system include the protection of expensive door leaf when it is rolled into the wall. The negative sides include a complex installation associated with the dismantling of part of the wall for installing the cassette.
Coupe doors work just like their furniture counterpart. One glass cloth on a special rail calls for another. It is advisable to use this principle only for a wide doorway or instead of a partition for zoning the room.
The main advantage of sliding doors is the significant savings in the space that swing doors need to open. At the same time, the second option is much cheaper than similar sliding doors thanks to a simpler installation.
Swing doors are divided into those for which the box is necessary and those for which it is not needed. The presence of the box will give additional sound insulation, which cannot be achieved using doors without a box. The absence of a box is typical of doors in stores or offices. Usually they open in both directions, which is useful for their high throughput.
An unusual, but spectacular phenomenon was the radial door. They are used for semicircular walls or where you need to arrange the entrance from the corner.
The choice of door installation depends entirely on the characteristics of the room, since it is necessary to take into account the area of the room and its structure. Then the acquired door will effectively carry out its tasks without damaging the glass sheet and surrounding objects.
Decorative properties of glass paintings
In addition to the fact that with the help of modern processing methods, the glass cloth is endowed with special strength, it also acquires various decorative qualities. Many ways of forming the relief and unusual texture allows you to create a unique interior with just one glass door. The matte surface will reliably hide the room from prying eyes, and the transparent gloss will create a feeling of fullness of the room with air and freshness. It is only necessary to make a choice.

- satin finish;
- Fusing;
- the use of mirror decors;

Sandblasting blends seamlessly into the hi-tech interior. In addition, such doors can be used to design vintage rooms and rooms, designed in the direction of "techno". The manufacturing technique is to direct a jet of sand under high pressure, which forms a given pattern.
Satin allows you to mat the canvas, while creating transparent lines of the picture. The main substance used is hydrofluoric acid, which makes most of the door opaque. This method allows you to create unique designer products that can decorate even the most luxurious living room. Doors that are designed in this way look great in a room in the style of contemporary or minimalism.
“Fusing” consists in the fusion of colored elements on a glass surface, so that you can achieve amazing patterns. Such a door will fit perfectly into the "Art Deco" or "classic" style. The technique helps to maintain a romantic mood and dilute the environment with new bright colors.
Mirror doors with the help of sandblasting equipment turn into a work of art. The play of rays of light will make the room brighter, and the mood cheerful. The effective combination of such doors with modern styles will make an indelible impression on visitors.

But the effect produced by such products, eliminates all doubts. Stunning patterns on the doors look like a combination of opaque glass with a bright pattern. In this way, you can add rich shades to the interior and make the door a central element of the room.
